Your First 30 Days of a Nuclear War

Day one, 6:52 p.m. A white flash over the city, and you are stuck in traffic. You have about ten minutes. Fictional story. The survival skills in it are real (FEMA, Ready.gov, CDC). The 8 skills: Get inside. A car is not a shelter (1:40) After a flash: don't look, drop face down, cover (2:06) Fallout takes about 10 minutes or more. Brick or concrete, underground or the middle of a building (2:15) Outer layer off removes up to 90% of the dust. Bag it, no conditioner (2:46) The 7-10 rule. Stay inside until officials say it's safe (4:14) Stay tuned: hand-crank radio, texts instead of calls (5:10) No flames inside. Carbon monoxide kills without a smell (6:10) Sealed cans and bottles are safe. Wipe them off first (7:54) 0:00 Day 1, 6:52 p.m. 0:34 Day 1, morning 0:56 The alert 1:27 Gridlock 1:47 The flash 2:41 Shelter 9 3:08 Day 2: the knock 3:55 Days 3 to 6 4:21 Day 4: lights out 5:35 Day 7: the stove 6:38 Night 8: someone at the door 7:44 Day 10: six days short 8:36 Day 14: one hour outside 9:19 Days 15 to 20 10:36 Day 21 11:34 Days 22 to 29 12:29 Night 28: three knocks 12:51 Day 30 13:39 The 8 skills 13:53 Could it happen?
